A new state law prohibits the use of raw eggs in foods prepared in restaurants.

"Like most San Franciscans, I was appalled to learn that last year's law made no provisions for traditional foods that are safe for most people," Migden said after the bill's passage Thursday.

Migden's office said state officials ruled earlier this year that raw egg can be used only if the dressing is prepared at the customer's table. If the Senate approves AB2612, restaurants will no longer have to prepare Caesar salads at a customer's table but will have to let them know when raw eggs are used in the salad.&lt;
